<VV> 1968 Ultra Van #409 For Sale in Los Angeles (relisted on eBay)

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Yes, the Ultra Van listing on eBay ended and has been  relisted.  I think 
it is odd that it was originally listed with a starting  amount of $2300, it 
received no bids at all and has now been relisted with a  starting amount of 
$4900.  Why would the seller think they would get a  starting bid at $4900 
if they didn't receive a bid at $2300?
 
Just curious if there is any logical auction tactic the seller  has in mind.
 
-List high and maybe get lucky?
-List high and come back with a lower price to look like a  deal?
-Originally listed way below market value by mistake, lucked  out that 
nobody bought it at $2300 and relisted at a higher and more accurate  asking 
price?
